FEED THE AI FAQ
Short answers to the questions that cause the most progression confusion.
How many Chapters are in FEED THE AI?
Four.
How many endings does FEED THE AI have?
Three: Protector, Rational and Tyrant.
How does Karma work in FEED THE AI?
AI Perks move Karma negative, toward zero or positive. The stored Karma range when Chapter 4 completes determines the ending.
Does Data Price make Chapters progress faster?
No. Chapter progression uses Raw Data; Data Price increases the Cash earned from that Data.
Do I need to max the Skill Tree to beat the game?
No. Normal Chapter progression is based on the Chapter Raw Data threshold.
What carries over after Prestige or reset?
Total Data, completed alignment paths and Prestige progress survive in global save data.
